Good morning A’s fans!

The Athletics have been patiently await the return of second baseman Zack Gelof from the injured list for the entirety of the season so far after the 25-year-old broke his right hamate bone in the waning days of Spring Training. The hope was that the young infielder would only need the bare minimum or close to it to recover, rehab, and return to the team and take his rightful place at the keystone. It would be six-to-eight weeks but the team could at least tread water while waiting for his return

While the team has done more than tread water, they’ll be without their second baseman for a while longer.
